If you're attempting to ween your teenage offspring off their collection of stuffed animals, we suggest investing in a line of plushies which are capable of scaring them out of their adorable addiction. Valve is releasing a set of five Left 4 Dead plush toys which should suit your needs quite well, the first of which -- based on the digestivally challenged "Boomer" special infected -- is currently available on Valve's online store for $49.99.
That price is a tad steep, though each toy comes with a sound chip that can emit ten of the Boomer's in-game grunts and belches. Just think of it like a premium you're paying to really place your child's psyche deep within the nightmare zone.

if it was for $9.99 than I'd get all the special infected plushies.

if you have to ask, you already know.
I'm sure there's worse you are doing that a 40 year old shouldn't be.

I'm not sure if I want these...while I generally love plush versions of game characters, my stuffed animal collection is entirely devoid of Nightmare Fuel. Well, with the exception of my stuffed Cthulhu.
On second thought, maybe some zombies would fit right in >.>

It'd be nice if there was a version without the voice chip for the price of Valve's other plushies (about thirty bucks). I don't really want 10 different Boomer sounds, to be honest; just the Boomer. :(

Wait. So you're telling me a plush toy costs more than getting a game? Are they serious?

If there are sound chips in them, when are they going to make a Francis plush?
